WELCOME
REV. REBEKAH ABEL LAMAR
CALL TO WORSHIP The Lord searches us and knows us. God knows when we sit down and when we rise. God knows our thoughts from far away. Even before a word is on our tongues, the Lord knows it completely. When we look behind us, God is there. When we look ahead, God is there too. God’s presence is too wonderful to understand, but with humbled hearts we give thanks for it. Let us worship the God who is with us wherever we are. HYMN 409
God Is Here (vs. 1,4) ABBOT’S LEIGH
PRAYER OF CONFESSION unison Merciful God, your creatures cry and your creation groans, but we refuse to hear. We surround ourselves with the noise of excuses: We are young; we are old; we are tired; we are busy; we are confined. Forgive our poor excuses and lack of imagination. Wash us clean, and give us courage to live fully as children of God. In Christ’s name we pray, Amen. 1
